Recipe Introduction

A whole day dedicated to wine? Sounds like a pretty good idea. Wine has been enjoyed for centuries in various cultures around the world. The oldest bottle of wine was discovered in 1867 at a dig site in Speyer, Germany inside of two Roman stone sarcophaguses. It's estimated that the bottle dates back to 325 AD! This astounding discovery can be seen today on display at the History Museum of the Pfalz in Germany. Red, white, pinot, or cabernet, what's your favorite type of wine? There are over 20 million acres of wine grapes planted around the world ready to make the various types of wine used for cooking and consuming. Wine is also guilt free as it contains no fat and nearly no cholesterol. There are even some health benefits to drinking wine—all in moderation, of course. All the more reason to enjoy it! To celebrate National Wine Day, check out events going on at local wineries or host your own wine tasting party for you and your friends to enjoy!
